Adds Package.swift + the scaffold prefix header for react-native-zeroconf 0.14.0, generated with RN 0.87.1's react-native spm scaffold (RN's documented path for community libraries) and validated with swift package dump-package (swift-tools-version 6.0).

The two React path dependencies (ReactNative, React-GeneratedCode) resolve through RN 0.87's autolinking alias (build/generated/autolinking/libs/...) at app resolve time — the same shape react-native-safe-area-context 5.10.0 ships — so they do not resolve in a bare clone. CocoaPods users are unaffected: the podspec stays the source of truth there.

Context: RN 0.87's SwiftPM autolinking hard-fails the package resolve for any autolinked library without a manifest (react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals RFC 0994 tracks the CocoaPods deprecation this feeds into).

Generated with RN 0.87.1's `react-native spm scaffold` from the podspec and
validated with `swift package dump-package` (swift-tools-version 6.0). The
two React path dependencies resolve through RN 0.87's autolinking alias at
app resolve time (same shape react-native-safe-area-context ships); they do
not resolve in a bare clone. CocoaPods users are unaffected.

Needed for React Native 0.87 SwiftPM autolinking, where autolinked native
libraries without a manifest fail the package resolve.

Thanks for this! The relative paths work for any app because of the libs/ symlink, so I'm happy to ship a manifest. Since it was scaffolded from 0.14, a few changes before merging:

  • Add .linkedFramework("Network"). Current master uses nw_* APIs for checkLocalNetworkAccess (scaffolding against master adds it).
  • Drop react-native-spm-prefix.h and the -include unsafeFlags. All sources import Foundation explicitly.
  • Replace the AUTO-SCAFFOLDED header with a short comment saying it's for RN SwiftPM autolinking and that CocoaPods still uses the podspec.
  • Optionally, use path: "ios/RNZeroconf" with publicHeadersPath: "." instead of listing each file.

Could you confirm it still builds in your 0.87 app after that? I'll handle the 1.0 branch separately since its native side is different.

React Native 0.87's SwiftPM autolinking fails the package resolve for any
autolinked library without a Package.swift. The manifest builds the
ios/RNZeroconf sources against the React headers the autolinker provides,
and links Network for the local network access check. CocoaPods still
uses the podspec.

Built and run in a React Native 0.87.1 app set up with
`npx react-native spm add`, Debug and Release on the iOS simulator.

Suggested in #199.

React Native 0.87's SwiftPM autolinking fails the package resolve for any
autolinked library without a Package.swift. The manifest builds the same
sources as the podspec: the C++ module with its dns_sd backend and Local
Network check, its Apple registration and the codegen output shipped in
ios/generated. CocoaPods still uses the podspec.

Built and run in a React Native 0.87.1 app set up with
`npx react-native spm add`, Debug and Release on the iOS simulator.
